Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The joint god
Dr Schall replaced my hip last year and both of my knees this year. I couldn’t have asked for a better more caring and just plain AMAZING dr. I have already recommended him to so many others.

A Good Choice
Dr. Schnell managed me through years of injections as my meniscus had been removed in 1977! I finally had him replace my Rt Knee about 3 months ago and I can walk pain - free from my knee.

So happy with my new hip!
I went to Dr Schnell after years of hip pain. I ultimately chose to have hip surgery and I am so glad I did. Being pain-free and being able to walk normally is a miracle. I am so grateful for Dr Schnells expertise as a surgeon and hip doctor and knew I was in the right hands when I met him. I will be scheduling my other hip surgery with him, too! Thank you Dr. Schnell!!

Amazing Dr & practice
My whole experience from initial appointment through surgery day and follow-up has been amazing. Dr Schnell was caring, empathetic and took plenty of time at appointments to make sure all my questions and concerns were addressed. His support team handled everything for my surgery in a prompt fashion, and I was kept informed throughout the process. My hip replacement well very well, and I’m back to work in 2 weeks! Highly recommend

Very satisfied patient
It was a very good experience changing to Dr. Schnell as my orthopedic doctor. I was hesitant to have hip surgery, but I felt that I was in the care of a very competent doctor. I am a very satisfied patient having had hip surgery less than 2 weeks ago.

Highly recommend Dr. Schnell for knee surgery
This was a follow up visit for my total knee replacement done a year ago. Dr. Schnell explained my symptoms in a caring, easy to understand manner and offered solutions to remedy the issues I’m having. He is knowledgeable and reassuring. I highly recommend him for knee surgery.
